    Video with the sound I'm referencing. Is there a way to make our tacos sound like that? I've got a Delta 40 muffler already but it's just a louder deep sound than stock. Looking for that race car-like sound like in the video with the high pitched engine whine when you step on the pedal.

    "Why would you want to make your truck sound like that?" BECAUSE ITS COOL "Do an LS Swap or buy a sports car" yep

    You can put in an LS2 V8 and it will sound exactly like it

    You have a minivan engine. It will never sound like a V8 race engine unless you swap it out for a V8 race engine.

    Are you too late for Friday or too early for Friday?

    Aww alright, I was looking for something you can maybe do to your exhaust, or maybe a cold air intake mod? Something like this, short of an engine swap.

    Kinda like the simple muffler mod which changes your sound completely

    You know the principle of how the flute works right? Mathematically figure out the exact size and distance from each other and poke very precise angled holes in the exhaust pipes. I'm sure you can use a spectrum analyzer to tune the sound.

    Get a 2TR-FE, for some reason the 4 cylinder has a better sound than the V6 when you punch it.

    You can put a supercharger on. But I personally think magnuson overpriced their kits for the little gain you get

    If you want a racecar sound, buy a racecar.

    it's never going to happen. Try some playing cards and clothespins. Post up a vid. Because it will be cool.

    Im gonna assume here, but judging by the questions I'm gonna say a supercharger might be outside of your wheelhouse.:anonymous:

    I saw a SR SX 4cyl I guess it was 4cyl, I didn't see a hitch receiver. Truck had to be going over 90 down the road, I never heard a sound.
